- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Challenges Facing the Technology Sector: Discussion (23 Nov 2022)

Paul Gavan: I will begin by echoing that call by Senator Buttimer for an urgent debate on human rights. It would be very important to have it during the World Cup, if possible. I also wish to raise issue of football. It is fair to say that the FAI has had a turbulent recent history. A criminal inquiry into FAI matters brought by the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement is ongoing. One...

On behalf of Sinn Féin, I welcome the Personal Injuries Resolution Board Bill 2022, as it relates to the programme for Government commitment to enhance and reform PIAB. It also addresses the commitments in the action plan for insurance reform to provide for a new and enhanced personal injuries resolution board. Overall, this Bill is a positive...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Nov 2022)
Paul Gavan: This morning I raise the 88 patients on trolleys in University Hospital Limerick today and the harrowing letter by 72 non-consultant hospital doctors based there. Think about that figure: there are 72 doctors highlighting the fact that patients are being lost in the acute unit and that sometimes patients wait for days before they are seen by a doctor. They apologise to patients. They say...
- Seanad: Central Bank (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (17 Nov 2022)
Paul Gavan: I welcome our guests in the Chamber this afternoon. On behalf of Sinn Féin, I welcome this Bill. I was proud to second the First Stage of this Bill in the Seanad a few weeks ago. I recognise the work of Senator Ardagh in particular, her colleague Senator Buttimer and my own colleague, Deputy Guirke, who has also been a champion of this Bill. As others have mentioned, when this...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Nov 2022)
Paul Gavan: I wish to raise the issue of the World Cup, which starts on Sunday in the horrific regime that is Qatar. There have been well documented details of human rights abuse relating to Qatar and workers. According to the Qatari Government, 15,000 workers have died at work in the past ten years but in many cases it put those deaths down to natural causes. The Guardian did an exposé which...
- Seanad: Private Nursing Home Sector: Statements (16 Nov 2022)
Paul Gavan: It is good to see the Minister of State. I acknowledge her work and her commitment in this area. I will start by painting a picture of the stark reality facing the health system. More than 2,000 nursing home beds have been lost since 2018, with the closure of 64 nursing homes over the last four years. At a time when hospitals are packed full, when we need step-down beds and residential...
